Following a weekend of uproar by Democrats and Republicans on the leaked White House draft on immigration reform, Texas Rep. Pete Gallego said Americans do not care about partisan politics in reform.

“Most people don’t really care where the idea comes from. They want action, they want something to happen, and they’re tired of the prolonged conversation,” the Democrat said Monday morning on MSNBC.

The representative from Alpine said he thinks President Obama is responding appropriately thus far to immigration reform, “stirring the pot” when necessary.

However, some Republicans disagree with Gallego, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Arizona Sen. John McCain who blasted Obama for devising his own plan, which lacked attention to border security.

When asked about border securities role in immigration reform, Gallego whose represents an area with nearly 800 miles of the Texas border with Texas, said to an extent the two are separate issues. However, border security can be economically beneficial for towns, like El Paso, within his district.

Gallego, along with fellow Texas Democrats Beto O’Rourke, Joaquin Castro, Marc Veasey, and Filemon Vela, wrote an op-ed urging action on immigration reform Sunday in the El Paso Times. In it, the lawmakers stressed the need to improve worker accountability programs, using border security as an economic tool and aiding the current 11 million undocumented individuals in a path to citizenship, while still holding them financially accountable .

“We can no longer delay immigration reform. The time to move forward is now. As the freshman five from Texas, we are ready to engage in dialogue and discussions in the weeks and months to come to make comprehensive immigration reform a reality.

But with all of the hot tempers over what to include in the bill, will reform occur anytime soon?

“I think immigration reform gets done this session of Congress,” he reassured MSNBC’s Chris Jansing. “I think from the perspective of both parties, it is time.”
